 Jan Tojnar | * hexa: also, as mentioned on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/148779, pygtk is blocked by GIMP at least | 21:18:23 |
 hexa | yes, we can make an exception for gimp if need be | 21:18:55 |
| hexa | but I wonder if 2.99.8 could work instead | 21:19:03 |

| hexa | these are the offending files in the gnome namespace | 21:20:22 |
| Jan Tojnar | that is still an unstable version | 21:20:35 |
| hexa | so I think we need to make an exception for gimp and possibly neard? | 21:20:56 |
| Jan Tojnar | again, nothing in gnome should depend on gnome2 | 21:21:56 |
| Jan Tojnar | by the way, in the past I tried removing various libraries from gnome2 prefix and everything that depended on them | 21:25:42 |
| Jan Tojnar | but I mostly only managed to get rid of packages with few dependents, the remaining were too much work | 21:26:35 |
| Jan Tojnar | by the way, more cleanup https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/154834 | 21:28:55 |
| Jan Tojnar | * on a slightly different note, more cleanups https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/154834 | 21:29:32 |

 piegames | I was naive and tried to remove libglade on a whim. This is probably only a third of the total fallout it will have. libglade is depended on by libgnomecanvas and libgnomeui, and the gtk-sharp mostly has to go as well, including all Gtk applications written in C# | 01:47:45 |

| piegames | Please confirm that this is indeed the right thing to do and that I am not wasting my time on something that nobody actually wants. | 01:50:39 |
| Jan Tojnar | piegames: the reason I gave up on removing libglade last time because we actually want some of the packages that depend on it | 02:16:09 |
| Jan Tojnar | like calf | 02:16:18 |
| piegames | And xournal (debatable) | 02:16:49 |
| Jan Tojnar | and we would first need to determine which are needed and which are good to remove | 02:17:00 |
| Jan Tojnar | which is enough work already | 02:17:18 |
| Jan Tojnar | * which is enough work already for a one person | 02:17:25 |
| Jan Tojnar | and then there is the job of actually removing the dependencies where optional | 02:18:12 |
| Jan Tojnar | I believe the audio stuff can be built without GTK interface and most plug-ins do not actually use it but not being an audio guy, I do not know for sure | 02:19:05 |
| piegames | In reply to @jtojnar:matrix.org
and then there is the job of actually removing the dependencies where optional Only two cases; already done (for libglade) | 02:19:20 |
| Jan Tojnar | so cooperation with the interested parties is also needed | 02:19:27 |
| piegames | * Only two cases; already done (for libglade) (only those that were explicitly marked as optional) | 02:20:21 |
| piegames | I see | 02:20:39 |
| piegames | Then this will continue to haunt us for a while | 02:20:51 |
